After spending 2 - 3 days on and off (and most of today) i got the game running on Windows 10 x64.
After playing around with the driver, and it signature, enabling / disabling signature enforcement, i had the thought that the secdrv driver is actually related to the secure rom which is used to validate the disk and lock the game down (don't know how accurate that statement is.)
Anyway, it occured to me that if that was the case, the game might work with a no-cd patch, and indeed it does. And it plays very well. The no-cd patch is not something i would normally use, but in this case it seems like it is the only way to make the game work.
Recap:
- Clean install of Windows 10
- Clean install of C&C Generals (non-origin install, original CD)
- Install Zero Hour
- Updated to latest patch
- Used no-cd patch to bypass the secdrv driver error
- Game works!
Let me know if this works (or doesn't) for anyone else, or if you have other solutions.
I could kiss you.
Been trying to get back to playing Zero Hour since I installed Windows 10 and its been ridiculously frustrating, especially as no error message appears.
Just went and got a no-cd patch and my problem was instantly solved.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me sort it out!!
Peace x
